Hi guys, I've run into a wierd situation with my note 3 were it keeps cycling thru a bootloop. It only gets as far as the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Custom" screen, with "recovery booting..." in the upper left corner of the screen. Then it restarts. It will keep doing this until I pull the battery and I can't get anything different to happen. I've tried every combination of buttons but I can't get this thing to go any further. I can't even get it to go into Download mode which is most troubling! Any help or ideas on what to do next would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Pull battery, then hold volume down and home button at the same time while pressing power on. This will take you to download mode

Yep, that did it. But I totally don't understand what just happened. Or why that combination of buttons worked this time. I tried it before and it didn't put it into download mode. Hmm. Oh well, I'm up and running. Thanks a bunch!!!

It's because the nc2 firmware everyone flashed didn't include the recovery so when you try to reboot to recovery it is trying to access the nc2 recovery which isn't there.
There is a thread in general , which fixes this problem.
